The Lightner Method™•The Language of Wholeness™ is rooted in new paradigms for human:
  • Well-being
  • Architecture (Structure)
  • Function (Coordination of action-movement)
  • Adaptation (Learning)
The more accurate your perspective the more access you'll have to clarity, ease, freedom and empowerment.

The core of the work is to support you to experience the mechanics and miracle of your own being so you can harness that information to live how and do what you want with less obstacles and roadblocks. This is the foundation for living a thriving life.

Here is an overview of the philosophy of Wholeness in Application.

The Lightner Method™•The Language of Wholeness™ is a pedagogy for the 21st century.
      It is an approach to:
  • Align your teaching strategies with the way the human system works.
  • Shift frustration, anxiety or worry to clarity and calm.
  • Transform effort, strain in moving to light, lively mobility.
  •  Experiencing your current capabilities rather than always try to improve/change.
  • Empower yourself and your students.
  • Ease common chronic physical pain such as knee pain, back pain, shoulder pain.
The Language of Wholeness™ is like learning any language -- but this one is not foreign or new. It is your innate language of sensation that points you toward connection, agency, clarity, joy. It is like getting 3-D glasses -- suddenly you experience a new dimension of what has been right in front of you all the time. This language of wholeness opens you to a way of seeing the world beyond the words of the language.
